Cisco Champion

I am really proud to announce I have been awarded by Cisco, as Champion for my contributions in the Cybersecurity space.

Cisco Champion Public Community

The Cisco Champion program is Cisco’s premier community for engaging and nurturing technical influencers throughout the year. Cisco Champions are vocal customers, partners and consultants who love to discuss technology and share what they’ve learned with others. It is a global group who have a strong social presence or another form of influence within the IT community.

What Does It Mean to Be a Cisco Champion?

Bening a Cisco Champion gives me the chance of having more engagement with different teams within Cisco. This includes but is not limited to increasing my knowledge of Cisco technologies, delivering value to others in different forms of communications such as blogs, podcasts, etc. and finally gives me the opportunity to provide input into Cisco’s solutions.

How did I become a Cisco Champion?

How did I become a Cisco Champion? Well, you must be active in the Social Community and be willing to “Give Back” to the community and give those in the community the benefit of your knowledge and experience. What form this takes is not fixed but it could be a blog or via Twitter or the Cisco Community sites, or a combination of all 3.

So, what’s changed for me since becoming a Cisco Champion? well, quite a lot really, not only do I feel more empowered, but also that I now really have a voice (or at least one that people listen to) as well as getting a lot more “Cisco Love”; not to say that I didn’t get any before, as working for a Gold Partner I certainly get my share.
